Installation Locations:
Install the detector in the bedrooms or common activity places, or places where you think possible generate or leak carbon monoxide. It’s suggested to install at least one alarm in each floor of a multistory building to ensure everyone can hear the alarm in sleeping.
Ideally, it is advisable to install a detector in every room that has a fuel-use appliance. however, if there are more than one burning appliances and the number of detectors is limited, the following points need to be considered when determining the install location:
•If the bedroom has a burning appliance, you need to install a detector in the bedroom;
•If there is a chimney-free or common flue gas appliance in the room, a detector must be installed in the room;
•If there is an electric appliance in a more-used room, such as a living room, a detector needs to be installed in the room;
•In a bedroom and living room, the detector should be as far away from cooking appliances and sleeping areas as possible;
•If the appliance is in an infrequent room, such as a boiler room, the detector needs to be installed outside the room so that the alarm sound can be heard easily.
Detectors should be located in the same room with fuel use appliances;
If the detector is mounted on a wall, its height should be higher than any window or door, but it must be at least 150mm from the ceiling. If the detector is mounted on the ceiling, it should be at least 300mm from any wall.
The detector should be at least 1m to 3m away from the potential gas source;
If there is a partition in the room, the detector should be on the same side of the partition as the source of potential gas;
In a room with a beveled ceiling, the detector should be on the high side of the room;
The detector should be located very close to the area that the occupants often breathe.
